Axis History Forum

Founded in 1999.

Sergeant Schultz in the TV series "Hogan's Heroes" (1965). But there remains a certain irony: John Banner was Jewish.

In addition to Banner and Robert Clary, other cast members of the "Hogan's Heroes" show were also Jewish actors. Werner Klemperer, who played Col. Klink was Jewish, the son of musical conductor, Otto Klemperer who fled the National Socialist regime in Germany. Howard Caine, who played the "Gestapo" officer, Major Hochsteter was also Jewish. Interesting to note.
